- Develop infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and modern CI/CD tooling to ensure consistent, repeatable deployments.
- Contribute Go-based tooling and services that improve automation, observability, and developer experience.
- Own observability and monitoring, ensuring robust alerting, metrics, and tracing across environments.
- Drive incident management and postmortem practices that strengthen reliability and learning loops.

- Programming: Strong Go development skills (or willingness to write and own production Go code).
- Observability: Familiar with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry, or equivalents.
- Reliability Focus: Deep understanding of SLOs, incident response, and continuous improvement in service reliability.
- Mindset: You operate with a founder’s mentality — hands-on, resourceful, and willing to dive deep to get things done. You take pride in hard work, autonomy, and shipping impactful systems.
- Build and operate the foundation for ClickHouse’s Postgres integration / extension, spanning multiple CSPs.
- Work on a small, elite team where ownership, reliability, and speed are core values.
- Shape the operational practices and automation that will define how ClickHouse runs databases in the cloud.
